No reception
on October 28, 2009
Posted by: Anonymous
from KS
I love the features of this phone - ID ringtones, great MP3 player and menus. Wonderful camera, with zoom and flash. Plays videos in landscape. But the reception is awful. I've gone into the hidden menus to turn off the 3G (which is supposed to help) but still get "no signal" messages while my husband standing next to me with his Motorola places calls and has great connection.
Pros: Features/Settings, easy to use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not a bad phone. I'm not looking for too many features anyway. Hard too see the screen when outside though.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this phone and have never been so ashamed of spending money for junk as i did this. i can barely hear it when it rings and i've got it set on 7, highest setting, too complicated, and overall worthless.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

General Review

Generally an OK phone for dialing and speaking.
Very disappointed on two accounts. All the "spamware" cannot be deleted and is very annoying.
There is no way to sync with a Mac.
Pros: easy to use
Cons: Features/Settings
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I'd rather have my money back
on July 30, 2009

I have always stuck to purchasing LG.
This phone is simply okay.
After a few months the "mirror" finish dulls out. I constantly have to delete my text message inbox. The text speed is slooooooow. They joystick is a pain to get used to. I do pretty well because I have smaller fingers. It constantly turns off on me. Even if you turn the ringer volume all the way up, you can barely hear it if your more than 10 ft away. My boyfriend has the same exact phone and he has the same problems with it.
However; It has a wonderful battery life. For the most part, it is pretty simple to use. I wish it had a few more applications, or at least one full game. It's got an amazing superficial view to it. The pictures it takes are gorgeous compared to other phones. Overall, I would recommend it to someone who is just going to use it to make calls, and not text. For myself, I would rather have gotten my money back.
